Never mind... got it figured out.
Click on a line on the chart to make the Data Series dialog appear
-
Options – Align data series to
-
Primary Y axis … OR
-
Secondary Y axis
The first trick was to make the DJI line appear, by fiddling with the
Primary Y axis, then was able to align that data series with the Secondary
Y axis. Was able to get the desired chart (also changed Line display for
the DJI to make the chart easier to read).
Cheers,
Jim
